ABSTRACT:
The windrow crop pickup has tines which are controlled by a cam at one end of the pickup reel so that the tines rock to-and-fro in a particular pattern during rotation about the axis of the reel, such action aiding in proper uplift of the crop from the ground and subsequent stripping of the crop from the tines as they release and feed the crop materials for further processing. The controlling cam for the tines is mounted on the outboard side of its supporting sidewall of the pickup, and each set of tines has an operating rocker at the end of the reel adjacent the cam which projects through an opening in the proximal sidewall and is received by the cam track such that, upon driving rotation of the reel, the stationary track imparts the desired rocking motion to the tines.
